Review Methodology

Exchanges are scored against a fixed rubric. Each record carries a reference date and we update on a rolling schedule.

The rubric

  • Regulation and availability — legal status and geographic coverage.
  • Real fees — maker/taker, withdrawal, and spread, not marketing.
  • Security — track record, insurance, and custody practices.
  • Usability — ease of first purchase and daily use.
  • Support — responsiveness and resolution quality.
Affiliate independence

Commission rates do not determine ranking. We only feature exchanges we can legally reference, and we say plainly when an exchange is info-only because it is not available to our US audience.
